CVE-2025-9173
Emlog Pro media.php unrestricted upload
Description

Rejected reason: ** REJECT ** DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER. ConsultIDs: none. Reason: This candidate was withdrawn by its CNA. Further investigation showed that it was not a security issue. Notes: The file upload in include/service/media.php verifies the file extension based on a list defined in include/lib/option.php. This whitelist prevents unrestricted uploads (e.g. PHP files). Therefore, the attack possibility is just of theoretical nature.
